This year's Spending Review not only maintains the level of funding for the Armed Forces in the next year, but commits to providing Defence with additional funding of £24.1 billion in cash terms over four years.

The defence of the UK will always be led by the threats that we must deter and defeat. This means making changes and taking hard decisions about our previous commitments. This multi-year settlement will enable Defence to make new investments in Research & Development, space and our shipbuilding pipeline to deliver a modern force, fit for the future.
